    Learning Goals
    • Specify a control architecture and a quantitative control objective for various
    control problems in engineered systems.
    • Design controllers that meet system specifications (stability, optimality etc.).
    • Understand and explain the impact of relevant model properties.
    • Design distributed controllers and analyse control performance for complex
    control systems operated over networks.
    • Analyse and verify control relevant properties.
    • Use different levels of model abstraction for controller design and the
    simulation of the controlled system.

    Prior knowledge
    • Linear algebra and basic Matlab programming
    • Basic knowledge of control theory. See videos of Brian Douglas.
